What's happening, Pivot fam? Welcome back for another Three Man Weave with your boy RC, Chan and Freddie T. We got a real one for you today. We'll talk about some of the things we believe need to change. That's in sports, that's in culture, and in the way we lead. One of us though, did attend the wedding of the year. Hell, maybe the century. Man, what a time. Freddie T is feeling good about where he is. Chan is running his kids like crazy, and I may or may not need a new vehicle. But let's get real. We'll dive in to Chris Johnson's inspiring battle with ALS and the news that Marshawn Nealon was diagnosed with stage one CTE. We discuss whether this changes the way we look at football and the sacrifices that players make every time they step on the field. We weigh in on Brandon Iuk's recent crash outs on the Jaylen Brown trade from the Celtics and what that says about accountability, expectations and perspective, which led us to this question. What does real leadership actually look like? Is it about words? Is it about actions? Is it about consistency? Heck, all of the above. Or do people even care and you just follow folks that you agree with, but you know how it gets on this side. We keep it fun. We keep it informative, but we always keep it real.
So Pivot fam, thank you once again for pivoting with us.

**Channing Crowder** (2:15)
Y'all don't know what beauty is. I'm a good, strong 8.9.

**Ryan Clark** (2:20)
I respect it. Well, fellas, we're back for another three-man weave on a Friday. It's been a while. I feel like I haven't seen y'all boys in a long time, man. So it is like, boo-cool to talk about. Pivot fam, thank you for pivoting with us. This is Fred Taylor. This is Channing Crowder, and I am Ryan Clark. Man, what y'all boys been up to?

**Channing Crowder** (2:42)
What you been up to? Because you ain't on line. I be worried about you. I thought you got grabbed or something.

**Fred Taylor** (2:49)
When is he never not on line?

**Channing Crowder** (2:51)
He wasn't on line. He wasn't on line this weekend.

**Ryan Clark** (2:54)
I will say this. I love the fact that you have an adult man's mustache and beard now.

**Channing Crowder** (3:00)
So you going to do that? Because this is professionally done.

**Ryan Clark** (3:03)
It is so much better than when you run to the airport bathroom to edge your face up, because you be looking terrible, dog.

**Channing Crowder** (3:11)
I don't know about this evaluation because I don't like it.
But when they started calling me Abe Lincoln, because I had it too low, now I got to have the little shadow, as Fred said, have the shadow. I am so fine. It's ridiculous.

**Fred Taylor** (3:26)
I've never heard a guy call himself fine.

**Channing Crowder** (3:29)
Because you can't do it. That's right.

**Fred Taylor** (3:31)
You know what's crazy? I thought you were trying to get fine. I think you sent a text saying, Chan getting at it in DC. So I went on Instagram.

**Ryan Clark** (3:38)
It was Lil Chan. It was Lil Chan. But they got the same name.

**Fred Taylor** (3:43)
I was like, hold on, Channing is finally working out. Then it was like Channing the third. Channing Crowder the third.

**Channing Crowder** (3:49)
I tell y'all all the time, you ain't got to put rims on a Ferrari. It's already a Ferrari.

**Ryan Clark** (3:53)
My dog Lil Chan was getting it. He in DC at the little what? Like a little camp or something?

**Channing Crowder** (3:57)
Internship business council.

**Ryan Clark** (3:59)
I really, I really loved that. I am, I ain't been doing nothing.

**Channing Crowder** (4:04)
That's good, man. Do nothing.

**Fred Taylor** (4:06)
You ain't been doing nothing?

**Ryan Clark** (4:08)
I've been chilling, though.

**Channing Crowder** (4:09)
You've been doing them f***ing workouts.

**Fred Taylor** (4:10)
Workout machine.

**Ryan Clark** (4:11)
I do work out a lot.

**Fred Taylor** (4:12)
A couple of dilly dallys.

**Ryan Clark** (4:13)
Dilly dallys. We should get shirts. We should get dilly dally shirts.

**Fred Taylor** (4:16)
I think so.
